Realization of a fully configurable complex network of non linear Chua's oscillators

We describe the realization of a new experimental setup for the analysis and characterization of complex networks of Chua's circuits. It is characterized by full configurability of the node's parameters and the network structure (topology and link impedances), and designed for easy scalability to high number of nodes. The set-up is automated in terms of control of the network and data acquisition by means of USB interfaced boards. A portable version of the set-up with 8 nodes is realized for demonstration purposes.
